Wagga Bidgee Canoe Club (WBCC) is holding a Come & Try session in February 2026. It's for people who are interested in trying kayaking and joining our club. No previous kayaking experience is necessary!
FOR THOSE INTERESTED PEOPLE WHO ARE UNABLE TO MAKE THE COME AND TRY DAY ON THE 7th FEBRUARY AND WOULD LIKE TO ARRANGE A 1:1 SESSION TO TRY KAYAKING AT ANOTHER TIME, PLEASE CONTACT VIA THE CLUB EMAIL - waggabidgeecc@gmail.com
The Come & Try sessions will be held on Saturday the 7th Feb 2026, starting and finishing at the WBCC Kayak Shed (located at the Wagga Beach).
There will be 2 sessions run with a maximum of 6 people in each session. The times for each session are:
Group 1 - 8:00am - 9:15am
Group 2 - 9:30am - 10:45am
Each Come and Try Paddler will be assigned to one club member (a buddy), who will remain with them for the duration of the session and over the following 4 weeks. They will arrange other times with you to go out for a paddle and teach you paddle skills and river safety.
For those who are available on Saturday the 28th February at 8:30am, we will bring everyone back together for a group paddle with all the buddies and other club members. This will be followed by a club breakfast BBQ back in the club sheds at 10:00am.
It is essential that:
Come and Try Paddlers must be able to swim 50 metres
Come and Try Paddlers must be 18 years and over (16 &17 year olds will be considered if accompanied on the water by a parent/carer. Contact the organisers waggabidgeecc@gmail.com to discuss this further)
There will be a cost of $10 for the session (to cover costs of boat, paddle and life jacket hire). This will also cover all subsequent sessions with your buddy and the final group paddle and BBQ.
